You'll find out anyways. Most people live in the past. They don't see that the system is in the midst of abolishing money and banks and to the surprise of many here the state, fully replacing it with social credit that will work vastly different than anything before. If you go bankless today you learn how to adapt to this different environment gaining invaluable knowledge.

In the future you don't need protection from your fellow human being or the state. You will pay taxes for protection to your technocratic AI overlord.

Your response doesn't make sense to me. Why are you telling me that violence can not be eradicated? Did I say that violence should be eradicated?

Because you said that the state is the currently chosen arbiter for said violence and I agree.

At the same time I believe we can do better while the new arbiter of soft power (still violence) shifts to a technocratic model.

Don't fight the old fights. Prepare for the new system.

A government is a government. It doesn't matter who is in charge. What matters is how much the system facilitates negotiation.

I have heard people say that the ideal political system is one with a single benevolent and immortal dictator , but those people are wrong. Dictatorships don't respect citizens. It doesn't matter who is in charge.

A technocratic model sounds like a really fancy dictatorship. Have I misunderstood your proposal?

This is not my proposal. This is where I see humanity heading for.

And yes chances are abyssimal small that a technocratic structure won't result inna full blown dictatorship.

That's not what I was saying at all. I just don't know what you mean by a "technocratic" structure. Can you tell me what would make one government technocratic as opposed to non-technocratic?
